Judge Nicholas Garaufis had called an emergency hearing on Tuesday, shortly after Avenatti was indicted for allegedly trying to extort $25 million from Nike with the help of co-conspirator Mark Geragos.

2 Chronicles 7:14

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Pudgy, 5ft 5in Keith Raniere (right), who used to sport a Jesus beard and John Lennon spectacles, somehow managed to recruit famous and rich American women into his NXIVM sex cult. His chief recruiter was Smallville actress Allison Mack (left), who is now charged alongside him. She tried to convince other celebrities like Kelly Clarkson (top inset) and Emma Watson (bottom inset) to join. Clare and Sara Bronfman, ultra-rich stepdaughters of British actor Nigel Havers, gave him £110m and lent him private jets and homes. Court papers say he 'maintained a rotating group of 15 to 20 women' who 'are not permitted to have sexual relationships with anyone but Raniere'.
